    What an era this was ehh for pop music, and I've always liked Alison Moyet of course. :rolleyes:
    It's interesting to hear her and Vince Clarke talk about their get together, as the band Yazoo.
    He'd left Depeche at that time, and I think they mixed together brilliantly (if you like that sort of music!), in '82.
    Vince eventually went on to team up with Andy Bell, as the group Erasure.
    And the lovely Alison, became a star in her own right. :)

    That’s a timeless classic isn’t it. Brings a lump to my throat giving it a listen this morning

    Annie Lennox was with a pretty good band called The Tourists before she got in with Dave Stewart.

    Didn’t know they were still going. Saw them once at Sheffield City Hall in about 83 or 84.
